Qmail, Alias and the use of wildcards

How to set up the next situation

bounce20112@domain.net =>> forwarded to bounce@domain.net
bounce20113@domain.net =>> forwarded to bounce@domain.net
....
....
bounce20748@domain.net =>> forwarded to bounce@domain.net

A alias should do the trick I think, but how to set this.

bounce*@domain.net =>> bounce@domain.net

thanks in advance

It'd be trivial to do if the addresses were of the form
bounce-<number>:

echo "&bounce@domain.net" >~alias/.qmail-bounce-default

If you really have to use bounce<number>, then you'll have to use the
qmail-users facility. It's still easy, but it's a bit more work. See:

http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#qmail-users

You'll need a wildcard entry like:

+bounce:alias:UID:GID:/var/qmail/alias:-:bounce-:

As well as the ~alias/.qmail-bounce-default file above.
